An extension ladder's distance from the base of a building should be what proportion of it's total extension?
It is not a proportion. There needs to be aroubd a 75 degree angle from the ground to the base. If it is too flat the ladder can slip out from underneath you. If it is too steep you can tip back. There is usually an angle at the bottom of the ladder if that is flat on the ground then that should be the safest angle (75 degrees)
What angle is a ladder fixed at on scaffolding?
A ladder should be place at 1m form the base of the scaffold .
A 40 foot ladder is placed against a building the ladder forms a 75 degree angle with the ground How high up the building does the ladder reach?
115
A ladder is leaning against a wall If the angle is between the ground and the ladder at 60 degrees and the wall is 4m how long is the ladder Give exact values?
If the angle between the ladder and the ground is 60 deg, and you know the angle between the ground and the wall is 90 deg, then you have a 30-60-90 degree triangle, which is a common triangle. You should memorize this one. The commonest sides of this right triangle are 4-5-6, with the longest side being the hypoteneuse, in this case the ladder leaning from the ground to the wall. The wall is 4m high, the base of the ladder would be 5m out from the wall, and the length of the ladder is 6m.
what- a ladder rests against a building at an angle as shown, with endpoints (-2,0 ) and (0,8). what is the slope of the ladder?
